Hi. I'm here again to ask dumb questions with probably easy-to-solve
ways. I've a netbsd with several aliases to serve as virtualhosts as we
can't use DNS and name-based vhost (political problems). I added those
aliases to fxp0 and it works ok when I try to connect from outside.

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:10:dc:08:3d:2b
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX)
        status: active
        inet 200.231.171.9 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 200.231.171.255
        inet alias 192.168.2.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
192.168.2.255
        inet alias 200.200.27.99 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
200.200.27.255
        inet alias 200.231.171.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
200.231.171.255
        inet alias 200.231.171.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
200.231.171.255

    But as I have a proxy running there, some people try to access the
pages, but they don't accept connections or pings:

PING 200.231.171.6 (200.231.171.6): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down

    From other computers the ping is replied and http is accepted.

    Please help!
